GENERAL COMMENTS: All lectures, examinations, and student presentations will be held in the Physiology Conference Room in Biomed 2 (242-2).

1.         Lectures:  Tuesday and Thursday: 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

2.         Reading Material:  Reading material and copies of slides will be supplied   by        instructors a few days in advance of each lecture.

3.         Examinations:  Three (3) exams, with points distributed equally for each lecture   (10 points per lecture): Exam 1 = 110 points; Exam 2 = 100 points; Exam 3 = 70     points; Student Presentations and Written Report = 40 points

4.         Dates and times for Examinations:

            EXAM #1       September 28, 2010    Tuesday           1:00 - 4:00 p.m.

            EXAM #2       November 9, 2010      Tuesday           1:00 - 4:00 p.m.

5.         Grading:

                        90 - 100% = A            80 - 89% = B              70 - 79% = C

            The above scale of grades is meant to be a general guideline.  Letter grades may     be adjusted to a lower percentage score, but will not be raised to a higher    percentage score.

6.         Endocrine Signaling Journal Club Presentation:  Students will be provided journal articles related to the cellular signaling in endocrine systems, and each will provide a 20 minute critical review of the article as it relates to the endocrine system being covered.

7.         Microarray Project:  Students will be provided a data set for analysis. Specific    instructions will be provided at the time of the project start. A brief 4-5 page        written report will be due (15 points) on the day of the student seminar (15 points).

8.         Seminars:  Each student will be responsible for giving a 20 minute oral presentation on their analysis of the microarray data set, the genes they have identified for validation, and the biological rationale for choosing those genes.
